_____ is defined as the global capacity to understand the world, think rationally, and use available resources effectively when faced with challenges.

Intelligence

The correct answer is Option (2) → Intelligence

Intelligence is the global capacity to understand the world, think rationally, and use available resources effectively when faced with challenges. Intelligence tests provide a global measure of a person’s general cognitive competence including the ability to profit from schooling. Generally, students having low intelligence are not likely to do so well in school-related examinations, but their success in life is not associated only with their intelligence test scores.
